Almighty Lord: I can modify hidden entries

Chapter 149 Artillery test, amazing power

With his help in the research of weapons, the progress of research and development jumped very quickly.

The first batch of experimental weapons have been rolled off the production line and are ready for testing.

After arriving at the institute, together with everyone who was already prepared, we set off to the special testing ground outside the town for testing.

Four Snow Edition Magic Trucks are ready, two of which are loaded with all the weapons that need to be tested.

This time a total of four artillery pieces, as well as a heavy machine gun and a portable machine gun need to be tested.

Although it looked like very little, most of them were occupied by artillery pieces, and some test ammunition was also carried.

As for the other two vehicles, except for some ammunition stuffed into each vehicle, the other two vehicles were filled with people.

The military personnel also came to observe this test work. After all, the weapons were designed for them, and some shortcomings also needed to be modified by them.

As the personnel arrived, the group set out for the shooting range three kilometers south of QY City.

The weapons training of Qingyuan Town troops is all carried out here. After all, firearms training still has certain risks. If uninformed residents break in, the accidental injuries will be serious.

After all, there is no so-called training bomb now, and the lethality is real.

The distance of three kilometers was reached in a short time at the speed of a truck. After arriving at the designated location, the engineers and soldiers on the two vehicles began to unload the weapons and learn to install them.

Four different types of artillery were also assembled and pushed to the preset site.

As Gudern, who has a phobia of insufficient firepower, he still needs to pay attention to the development of comparable firearms.

There are four types of artillery, three are conventional gunpowder artillery and one is magic artillery.

Among the gunpowder artillery, the most eye-catching one is the 105mm gunpowder-loaded howitzer. This guy occupies the space of an entire vehicle, and after assembly, it is also a giant.

The other two are somewhat mini in front of it, a 60mm mortar and a 75mm field gun.

Each of the three artillery has its own purpose. The 105 howitzer is used to provide long-range coverage fire support, and the 75mm field gun is placed on the city wall to cause direct fire to the enemy.

The final 60mm mortar is a light support type weapon that can be portable and used for support attacks.

The only magic artillery among the four types of artillery is somewhat special. Its development is directly based on the 75mm field gun, and the caliber is also maintained at 75mm. Due to the portable nature of magic, the magic artillery's The overall structure is only half that of a field gun, and the overall weight is less than 200 kilograms.

If this weight is considered to only be carried by intermediate-level soldiers and above on foot alone, including a basic twelve rounds of ammunition and all the parts of the artillery, only three people can complete it.

Due to the existence of professionals, the situation that originally required more manpower for carrying operations has never happened here, and one person can handle the carrying capacity of two or three.

The preparations were quickly completed, and the first test was the 105 howitzer that Gudern was most looking forward to.

For this kind of large-caliber monster, the killing radius of a grenade from a normal data panel can reach ten to twenty meters.

But now his gunpowder technology is not that good. This panel may shrink a lot, but it won't be much worse.

The engineers directed the soldiers and taught them step by step how to load and aim. After everything was ready, the commander gave the order to fire, and as the launcher pulled the trigger cord, the 105 howitzer made a loud firing sound.

"boom---"

The impact of flames from the cannon's muzzle blew away and melted the snow nearby. Even Gudern, who was already prepared, couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he heard the sound of the cannon firing.

The grenade trailing a white tail mark flew according to the pre-aimed target. A little more than a second after firing, the grenade arrived at the target 500 meters away.

The orange-red warhead exploded instantly to form a heat wave, and the metal fragments stored in the warhead were ejected at an extremely high speed, destroying everything around it.

Gudern, who was watching, took a look at the weak point of the grenade. It was about seven or eight meters away from the target, but there were still traces of bullet marks on the brick wall target.

It is normal for the first aiming fire to miss. Then a team of engineers quickly drove to the impact point to record various parameters after the artillery explosion.

After a while, he pulled back and carried out the second attack.

With the first parameters, the second fire directly hit the brick wall target. The three-meter-long, three-meter-high, three-story standard-width brick wall was instantly destroyed and collapsed when faced with a direct hit from the 105 howitzer.

Then repeat the first recording, return, and shoot again.

There are a total of six howitzer shooting targets, two brick walls, four cement walls of different thicknesses, and test scenes.

After firing sixteen times, the specific parameters of the 105 howitzer were almost figured out.

The standard high-explosive grenade has a killing radius of about 13 meters and a maximum range of more than eight kilometers. The rate of fire is unclear, but after subsequent quantities, it is inevitable to ensure that it is more than five rounds per minute. The warhead warhead loading capacity is about 1.5 kilograms.

Although this equivalent of destructive power cannot break through a concrete and steel fortress, a cement wall less than fifteen centimeters cannot be less than the shock wave it brings.

This is the result data obtained after testing with five chickens.

After all, Gooden cannot allow people to get into the fortress and attack and test. Although the physique of chickens is different from that of humans, it can also show from the side that cement walls lower than this thickness may be attacked by direct-fire howitzers. Will cause harm.

For this data, Gooden only needs to know that if construction exceeds this standard in the future, it will bring about the possibility of accidental injury.

Gudern was very satisfied with the test results of the howitzer, and then continued to look forward to the subsequent weapons tests with anticipation.

According to the mortar data, the maximum range is 3.8 kilometers, the minimum range is 60 meters, the firing angle is 45 to 85 degrees, and the firing rate is one shot every three seconds, which is twenty rounds per minute.

Due to its own characteristics, the mortar requires a sufficient amount of warheads. The killing radius of one shot is 11 meters, which is comparable to the range of the 105 howitzer. It is very suitable as a light support weapon.

The 75 field gun has a maximum range of more than six kilometers, and the rate of fire is the same as that of a howitzer. It has not been trained and tested, and the specific number cannot be known, but it is still no problem to fire one shot every ten seconds.

At the same time, as a weapon that needs to be installed on the city wall, its depression angle reaches a minimum of minus fifteen degrees and a maximum of thirty-five degrees.

The shooting angle of up to fifty degrees gives it unparalleled flexibility and freedom.

At the same time, as an armor-piercing projectile, it is also the only weapon that can penetrate a twenty-centimeter cement wall.

Of course, field artillery not only has armor-piercing projectiles, but also anti-personnel projectiles similar to grenades. The killing range is not as wide as the first two, only a little over seven meters.

But for a so-called weapon that can shoot directly, he does not need a full range calculation to calculate the trajectory. He only needs to aim to fire and kill, which is extremely convenient in operation.

The three types of gunpowder artillery have been tested, and the last magic artillery to appear is also the weapon that Gudern is most concerned about and interested in.

Although the magic artillery uses the name artillery, the actual core body is not the artillery, but the cannonball.

The body of the artillery is a mechanical device that is fixed and has automatic preloading and can fire continuously.

If you don't want this thing, just bring the barrel and launching device. The weight of the magic artillery is only 50% heavier than the 60 mortar, about 30 kilograms or more.

This weight allows mid-level warriors to carry it not only by one person, but also with an additional base amount of ammunition.

The automatic loading function of the magic artillery can achieve a firing rate of one round per second, and the amount of ammunition for an automatic loading is also a base number of twelve rounds.

And when shooting, the hand speed is fast enough to keep the magic artillery firing at a rate of one shot per second.

But the cost of doing this is money.

The main focus of the magic artillery is on the shells.

A total of six types of ammunition are currently under development.

Standard high explosive bombs, cluster high explosive bombs, magic incendiary bombs, electromagnetic armor-piercing bombs, smoke bombs, and illumination bombs.

The cheapest standard high-explosive bomb among the six types of ammunition costs one exchange for three 105mm grenades or 4.5 75cm field gun shells.

The most expensive high-explosive bombs and magic incendiary bombs cost about the same, with one bomb costing as much as three standard high-explosive bombs.

Although the names may seem to be related to magic, they may only be magic incendiary bombs and electromagnetic armor-piercing bombs.

But in fact, these shells are all composed of magic, and have lethal or auxiliary effects produced by some other physical materials.

The cost of a howitzer is reduced to only 2.7 silver coins, a standard high-explosive bomb costs 8.1 silver coins, and the most expensive two models cost 24.3 silver coins.

This number may not seem like a lot, but you must know that these things are artillery shells. They are gone after being fired and cannot be recycled. Moreover, the price is one per shell.

According to Gooden's planned reserve, the first batch of magic cannons totaled six, each requiring a reserve of 100 rounds of special ammunition and more than 500 rounds of standard ammunition.

But now that I have calculated it, the amount of money invested in this way exceeds 800 gold. This is only the reserve of cannonballs, and does not include the cost of the magic cannon and the price of subsequent parts replacement.

But even with such an expensive price, Gudern gritted his teeth and prepared to make arrangements.

After all, the performance of magic artillery is too superior.

The six types of magic cannonballs were auxiliary types except smoke grenades and illumination bombs. After a round of test firing, there were no problems and they were not continued. The remaining four types of cannonballs were fired at five each.

Standard high-explosive bombs have the help of fire elements, wind elements, colorless elements and gunpowder, as well as various reaction holders. The final radius of killing range reaches 20 meters. This is an unstoppable distance even with a full set of armor. , and further outside, within a radius of fifty meters, it also has extremely terrifying lethality against unprotected dummy targets.

And with the help of magic, the range of all magic shells starts at least fifteen kilometers. Due to the current measurement and speed problems, it will not be possible to measure the accurate maximum distance for a while, so the maximum shooting distance is after one test shot. , you can check the angle and flight trajectory to roughly estimate the range.

The second type of high-explosive bomb uses a tiny projectile design and is equipped with an ejection setting. The killing range is somewhat different from that of standard high-explosive bombs. The killing range of the sub-munition is a straight line and carries multiple explosions.

The third type of magic incendiary bomb, Gudern combines a combination of solidified gunpowder and white gunpowder, plus burning magic, which can create a flame area of ​​more than thirty meters in length in an instant.

And it can keep burning for more than 20 minutes without burning materials.

The final electromagnetic armor-piercing projectile was a reset version of the magic artillery he originally planned to design.

When it was originally designed, the first thing Gooden looked at was the electromagnetic gun. However, after actual research and operation, he found that this thing was not impossible to make, but the cost was too high and it was impractical. He had to give up and use the artillery gun. Structural design.

The electromagnetic armor-piercing projectile uses the acceleration of electromagnetic force to allow the projectile to be ejected from the barrel and fired. It then uses the acceleration of electromagnetic force to accelerate a metal rod to five times the speed of sound, killing with kinetic energy.

The final test results of this design also shocked Gudern.

The last cement fortress had a half-meter cement layer on the front. Under the attack of the electromagnetic armor-piercing projectile, it was directly bombarded with a fist-sized hole, and the 20-centimeter wall on the back was also penetrated. A half-meter-wide metal debris crater was left not far away.

With such a terrifying penetrating ability, if you continuously attack a point, with the protection of Qingyuan Town, up to three shots can penetrate it.

This is not an exaggeration by Gudern, but a fact. The construction of the city wall is not all made of cement, but there are two core layers of cement, and the rest are made of bricks.

Its protective capabilities are definitely not as good as a concrete fortress half a meter thick.

It can even be said that if three cannons are too many, two can penetrate it.

The test results of the magic artillery not only surprised Gudern, but also the people who tested it together were frightened by the terrifying lethality.

But in the end, everyone's faces showed joy. With such weapons, Qingyuan Town will only be safer. Even if the orcs attack, they don't have to be so afraid.

After all, all fear comes from insufficient firepower.

If one shot can't kill it, use two shots. If two shots can't kill it, then concentrate your firepower and attack with a volley.

Under such firepower, even if Chaofan comes, he may not dare to resist.

The test work of the artillery lasted for more than two hours before the work was completed.

Then came the testing of firearms, weapons and some gadgets.

This part of the weapons can actually be tested at the special testing ground in the town, but we happened to have a large-scale test today, so we brought them along for testing.

Gooden is also looking forward to the weapons test, although there are only a dozen or so test items and only a few types of weapons.

But these are the most recent weapons for soldiers. They may seem small in number, but when it comes to quantity, it is very objective.
